Apparel manufacturing & export · India → US & EU
RLO Enterprises develops, manufactures and exports garments across every women’s, men’s and kids’ category — activewear, athleisure, loungewear, western wear, occasion wear and intimates. You approve a gold seal. We ship exactly that.
In one paragraph
RLO Enterprises is a full-package apparel manufacturer and exporter based in India, supplying retailers, importers and private-label brands in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union. We cover eight garment categories — activewear, athleisure, loungewear and sleepwear, western wear, party and occasion wear, lingerie and intimates, menswear and kidswear — and we handle the whole chain: design development, tech packs, sampling, fabric and trim sourcing, bulk production, third-party inspection, export documentation and shipping.
Minimum order quantity starts at 300 pieces per style per colour. Sampling takes 7–10 days and bulk production 45–75 days. We quote FOB, CIF and DDP from Nhava Sheva, Mundra, Chennai and ICD Tughlakabad, invoice in USD, EUR or GBP, and work on 30/70 terms or an irrevocable L/C at sight. Every enquiry receives a written reply within 24 business hours.
The honest part
Nobody’s first worry about an Indian exporter is whether the stitching is nice. It’s whether they’ll be let down. So here is what we commit to in writing, before you send us anything.
“The bulk never matches the sample.”
Nothing enters bulk until you have physically approved a pre-production sample sealed against your tech pack. Three identical gold seals are made — one to you, one to the QA floor, one to the cutting room. Every inline check is measured against that seal, not against a memory of it.
PP SAMPLE + SEALED SPEC SHEET BEFORE EVERY CUT
“They’ll miss my delivery window and tell me late.”
You get a time-and-action calendar at order confirmation with every milestone dated — fabric in-house, cutting, sewing start, finishing, inspection, ex-factory. Every Friday you receive a written WIP report with photographs against those dates. If a date is going to slip, you hear it from us at least 14 days out with a recovery plan.
WEEKLY WIP REPORT · 14-DAY EARLY WARNING COMMITMENT
“Is this a real factory, or a trader who’ll disappear?”
We disclose every unit that will touch your order — name, address, headcount and audit status — and we do not sub-contract to an undisclosed facility under any circumstance. Book a live video walkthrough of the floor, or visit unannounced during working hours. Both are welcome.
NAMED UNITS · LIVE FLOOR WALKTHROUGH ON REQUEST
“Will this pass my compliance and customs team?”
Social audit reports, OEKO-TEX and GOTS scope certificates, test reports, cotton traceability documentation for UFLPA, FTC-compliant care and fibre labelling, and a complete export document set — commercial invoice, packing list, B/L, certificate of origin — issued without you having to chase.
UFLPA TRACEABILITY · SMETA REPORTS · FULL DOC SET
“They’ll copy my design and sell it to my competitor.”
A mutual NDA is signed before you send a single sketch. Contractually, every pattern, print, trim and block developed for you is your exclusive property — we will not offer it, or a close derivative of it, to another buyer. Your artwork files stay on a restricted-access drive limited to your named team.
MUTUAL NDA · WRITTEN EXCLUSIVITY ON DEVELOPED STYLES
“Emails go into a black hole for a week.”
You are assigned a merchandiser by name, with a backup, both reachable on email, WhatsApp and video call. Every enquiry gets a written reply inside 24 business hours — even if the reply is “we are still checking, here is when you’ll have the answer.” Our team works a daily overlap window with US Pacific and Central European time.

How an order runs
You get a time-and-action calendar at order confirmation, and a written work-in-progress report against it every Friday. No guessing where your goods are.
Send us your enquiry — a tech pack, a reference image, a mood board, or just a description and a target price.
We counter-sign a mutual NDA the same day and assign you a named merchandiser with a backup.
Confirm quantities, size ratio, target FOB and destination port.
We build a line-by-line cost sheet — fabric consumption, trims, CMT, value additions, packing, testing, freight — and quote against your Incoterm.
Share artwork, or brief us and let our design team develop the collection.
CAD, print placement, measurement chart, BOM, construction notes and grading rules across US, UK and EU size systems.
Review the first physical sample and comment freely — this stage is for changing your mind.
Pattern making, single-piece stitching in available substitute fabric, photographed from six angles before dispatch.
Fit on your model or mannequin, mark corrections, approve the grade.
Corrections applied, full size set produced in correct fabric, measurements recorded against tolerance.
Written into the contract
Bulk is inspected against your sealed pre-production sample at a 2.5 AQL for major defects and 4.0 for minor. If a lot fails, we rework it at our cost before it leaves the floor — you are not asked to accept a compromise.
Your own QA, or a third party you appoint — SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas, QIMA — inspects the goods at our unit before shipment. Balance payment falls due against a passed inspection and a scanned bill of lading, not before.
If we miss the agreed ex-factory date for a reason inside our control, we cover the airfreight differential on the shortfall quantity, up to the value agreed in your purchase contract. It is written into the contract, not implied.
FOB quotations are broken down line by line — fabric, trims, CMT, printing, embroidery, wash, packing, testing, freight. No surprise surcharges after order confirmation. If a raw-material index moves before fabric booking, we show you the movement and re-agree in writing.
Quality control
Every gate produces a signed check sheet that goes into your order file. If a lot fails, it is reworked at our cost before it leaves the floor — you are never asked to accept a compromise to save a ship date.
4-point system
Every roll inspected and scored before it goes near a cutting table. Rolls that fail are returned, not cut around.
Shade & shrinkage
Lay audit, shade-band segregation and bundle tagging so a single garment never mixes two dye lots.
Every operation
Measured against your physical gold-seal sample at each operation, not against the last piece that passed.
100% check
Every piece checked and passed through metal detection before it reaches the packing table.
AQL 2.5 / 4.0
Statistical audit to 2.5 major and 4.0 minor — or your protocol. Third-party inspectors welcome.
Nothing moves to the next gate without a signed check sheet. Failed lots are reworked at our cost before they leave the floor.
Cotton traceability documentation from bale to garment for UFLPA, FTC-compliant fibre and care labelling, CPSIA testing on children’s product, and correct country-of-origin marking — assembled before shipment, not after CBP asks.
Labelling to Regulation 1007/2011, REACH restricted-substance limits, extended producer responsibility data on request, and structured fibre and origin data ready for the ESPR Digital Product Passport.
Getting it to you
FOB, CFR, CIF, EXW — and DDP into a US or EU address when you would rather not touch customs at all. Retail-ready packing, GS1 barcoding, ratio packing by store cluster and Amazon FBA prep are all standard, not extras.
Loading ports: Nhava Sheva (JNPT) · Mundra · Chennai · Delhi ICD Tughlakabad. Transit times are indicative and quoted live at booking.
Who we build for
Vendor onboarding packs, full facility disclosure, social audit access, dated drop calendars, store-cluster ratio packing and consolidated container planning. We build to your packing manual, not ours.
Low first-run quantities, fast sampling, FBA and 3PL-ready cartons, and a design team that can take you from mood board to range plan when you don’t yet have one in-house.
Multi-category consolidation into one container, transparent line-item costing so you can price your own margin, and documentation clean enough that your customs broker never calls you.
GOTS-scope organic cotton with transaction certificates per shipment, recycled polyester with GRS documentation, low-impact dyeing and reduced-packaging options costed openly.
Straight answers
We publish our minimums, our lead times and our payment terms because the alternative — making you ask three times — wastes your week and ours.
Next step
No sales sequence, no gatekeeping. You get a named merchandiser, a signed NDA and an itemised quotation.
